 This project enforces its code conventions using [checkstyle.xml](fineract-provider/config/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml).  It is configured to run automatically during the normal Gradle build, and fail if there are any style violations detected.
 We recommend that you configure your favourite Java IDE to match those conventions.  For Eclipse, you can
 File > Import > General > Preferences our [config/fineractdev-eclipse-preferences.epf](config/fineractdev-eclipse-preferences.epf).
-You could also use Checkstyle directly in your IDE (but you don't neccesarily have to, it may just be more convenient for you).  For Eclipse, use https://checkstyle.org/eclipse-cs/ and load our checkstyle.xml into it.
